So i wrote out this whole update and then my computer restarted on it's own and the update is gone! Grrrr computers!
So Ayla did okay at phsyio this week. There was a lot more protest than there has been the last few weeks and i am trying to figure out why. I think it's because they are pushing her a bit further tryign to see what she can do and convince her that she CAN do it.
On Tuesday she took 40 steps with a hand walker, 4 sets of 10:) She was pretty tired after but we were so proud of her! She can stand on her own for a few seconds and for a few mintues with her magic legs now. She actually wants to stand and play more and more so i have to figure out ways to incorporate that at home while still allowing her to be independent.
There was talk about preschool on tuesday with the PT. She said it might be good because it would allow Ayla more therapy while not really "knowing" it. The preschool is there and the therapist will either incorporate what she needs to do into class play or they will take her out 1-1. They have openings mon,wed,fri mornings but that makes me panic a bit leaving her for that often right off. She hasn't been away from mom or dad (with the exception of some close friends) in the last 6/7 months. We went and checked out the preschool yesterday ( a different time than she'd be in) and it was good. There were even a couple kids from nursery and sunday school from our church there! Next thursday we go in for intake. They also said that the first few times i'm more than welcome to come with her until she gets used to the people and place. It's substidized so it will be $9/day for her to be there.
I wish Ryan was here to do all this with us, but that's the way it is i guess.
All in all we are doing pretty well. I have surgery on Monday so Ryan is taking that day off and my inlaws are coming down to help with the kids after he leaves for work that night. Ezra is struggling a bit, but okay.
Thanks everyone and God Bless!

Scripture a friend sent me this week:
John 14: 27 "I am leaving you with a gift - peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid"

<3 It can't hurt to try out the preschool. The way I see it, there are two different scenarios that could play out:
ReplyDelete1. Ayla knows mommy isn't there to just "do" all the walking for her, so gets motivated to do it because mommy or daddy aren't there to "save" her.
OR
2. Ayla freaks out because she feels insecure without a loved on there and refuses to do anything at all.
Scenario 1 would be what we hope for, but if scenario 2 happens, you just take your baby out of preschool, right?
